Beta Test Info
Welcome to the Day of Defeat: Source Beta forum. For the upcoming update, we'll be running a short beta test period, open to anyone that owns Day of Defeat: Source.

Changes in this update:

- added Dod_Palermo, updated map based on Dod_Salerno by Insta
- added Steamworks features, including achievements and player avatars
- added Nemesis and Revenge
- added Freeze Cam
- friendly players no longer collide with each other
- many particle systems have been improved
- changed the algorithm for bullet spread to be more like the original Day of Defeat
- reduced Garand recoil
- View position is now adjusted when zoomed with rifles and sniper rifles to help with player visibility around corners


Planned changes not in this update:

- Per-player stats linked to Steam Community
- many map exploit fixes

Could be big. One of the biggest complaints people had with DOD:S (myself included) was the general inaccuracy and randomness of the weapons. If they are truly going back to DOD accuracy, this could be great! Now they just need to introduce bots for Cain's sake :twisted:

I just tried it.....bleh

Still COF crap. Maybe a little tighter than before, but nothing like DOD. Maybe I'll just go back to INS or COD4, where all the weapons are deadly.

I just left... a sec ago :scratch:

The K-98 is better but the rest needs a lot of work... kinda disappointed. But I have only played with Axis guns... maybe the allies are better. The MP-40 really doesn't impress me...


I am jumpin back in...
